Yep check where the supply lines attach to the hard line/valve. Mine will get a build up of mineral flakes right there. Then pull the screens and soak in vinegar (which you probably have done already).

I removed the screens and hooked up my little air pump to the line. I was able to get some flow, but you could tell it was building pressure. Water and mineral flakes flew out when I took the air off.

I didn't soak the screens in vinegar, but I did take them all off to see what was happening in the taps.


I recommend a steel work head with teeth on the snake to eat up those hard deposits and a Vitamin C filter cartridge on the main inlet to stop that build-up of minerals.

Don't have those problems here. Some lime and iron is about all we have in the sand here. Not too bad for me being on the end of a town line of 100 residential homes plus businesses. In the pines is about the worse with iron on flat land here and direct wells.

I haven't had pressure problems, but when I changed the heating element in our water heater about 5+ pounds of mineral sludge and flakes came out.

You gotta find the bottle neck. That's where those flakes will get caught up. Usually the little chrome valve under the sink and where the shower head screws on.

That's tomorrow's project. I'm gonna wear some loose fitting jeans and let the butt crack hang out. To be pro and stuff...

Had a skiff of snow overnight, normally I would have left it but I scraped down to the concrete yesterday so wasn't about to let it start building up already.

Ground hog says early spring so if we are lucky only another 6 weeks of winter...
